I Create Culinary Art With Da Vinci Ambition

Chef Carlos: Art, Travel And A Life In The Kitchen

I cook with the curiosity of an artist and the discipline my grandmother taught me. She ran two restaurants in Argentina and mastered French, Italian and Spanish cuisine. Travel shaped my palate across the Americas—potatoes, corn, quinoa and cacao—and I found in ceviche the purest spark. Today I cook clean and elegant food: no heavy cream, no butter, no bottled juices, and no excess salt.

I came from documentary filmmaking to professional kitchens. Over the last years I trained in service and sauté, aiming to grow each day and become a grand chef.

What Guests Say

Chef Carlos gave us an amazing birthday dinner! He was punctual, very attentive to details and well prepared. He also set the mood incredibly well with both his presentation and his stories behind the food/dishes. The menu was amazing and consisted of dishes that were both interesting and incredibly delicious! The textures were unique and varied, creating an amazing balance between the flavors of each dish. The umami from the mushrooms and cheese from our second dish was especially memorable. Chef Carlos was a pleasure, prepared and presented an amazing set of dishes and even left the kitchen cleaner than when he arrived! Easily five stars!

Excellent!

Carlos created a dinner for my mom's 70th birthday. We messaged back and forth to fine tune the menu a few times based on my mom's preferences. Each time Carlos responded within a few hours. He showed up on time and prepared everything over an open flame outside, which was truly special. The food was all delicious and beautifully presented, with good timing between courses, excellent explanations of what we were eating and tons of leftovers. He really went above and beyond. Highly recommend!

Meredith Rogers

We had the absolute pleasure of dining with Chef Carlos; and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, his professionalism and thoughtfulness were evident in every detail. Each course was beautifully executed, but the standout was an exquisite poached halibut paired with a velvety caramelized carrot purée—delicate, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Chef Carlos’s attention to detail is truly remarkable—not only in his cooking and presentation, but in his overall approach to hospitality. One particularly thoughtful gesture was a stunning presentation of flowers for our host, which truly elevated the entire evening. Every element, from the pacing of the meal to the final course, was delivered with care and precision. It was a truly memorable culinary experience, and we feel so lucky to have had Chef Carlos at the helm. Highly recommend for anyone looking for elevated dining and impeccable service.

Topher Harris

Chef Carlos is an overall outstanding chef. From his timely fashion, elegant presentation, detailed explanation of the our menu selections and the different flavors achieved. Food was delicious to keep it simple, we were fully satisfied. He came prepared, once I familiarized him with the kitchen, he was at work. Prompt us when the beginning of the course would start, gave us time to eat as we laughed and shared great memories with each other at the dinner table. Great experience totally even to the clean kitchen he was familiarized with and left clean, which gave our experience with Chef Carlos the final ribbon touch. Touche’ Chef, you hit your mark!!!!!

Sara Minott

We had a wonderful, engaging, and delicious experience with Chef Carlos. Chef Carlos was incredibly accommodating - we have a newborn at home and were moving and busy at times while he prepared our meal. Carlos never missed a beat and dazzled us with his professionalism, friendliness, and overall charisma as he explained the menu, the sourcing of the ingredients, and his perspective on cooking, food, and life. This was an enchanting and relaxing evening for us during a stressful time in our lives, and we hope to have Carlos come by again in the future!

Kevin Cecala

Let me add my highest recommendation for Chef Carlos, who we had the pleasure of hiring for our recent corporate executive retreat. Over the span of two full days and two half days, he masterfully prepared a total of eight meals. His culinary skills left us all astounded. The meals crafted by Chef Carlos were nothing short of spectacular. Each dish served was both delicious and well-balanced, perfectly supporting our energy levels throughout the intense discussions. Moreover, his incredible flexibility stood out. Chef Carlos was simply amazing at managing not only the diverse dietary needs of our team but also handling some of our challenging and particular team members with absolute professionalism. His service went far beyond just providing meals; it contributed significantly to the success of our retreat.
